from Classes Policy:
After
the last day for class changes has passed (see College calendar), students =

withdraw from a course in which they are registered with permission from the
faculty member conducting the course. A written request detailing the rea=
son(s)
for the withdrawal must be filed with the Registrar. The Registrar must receive written
request for withdrawal by the last day of classes prior to the final
examination dates specified in the catalogue. Written requests may be mailed to t=
he
Registrar or faxed to the College fax number 219-473-4259. Students are to make note of the re=

the
request is honored, the student will receive notification of official
withdrawal; if denied, the notification will indicate why the withdrawal is
disallowed.
